Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, has expressed their concern over the lopsided nature of President Buhari's appointment. A situation where the government so far has made 88% of it's political appointments from one section of the country is not acceptable and does not look well for such a multi ethnic nation as Nigeria.
The forum made their displeasure known through their president in the person of Yerima Shettima in a press release this morning in which they expressed their reservations over the recent appointments made by President Buhari, and tagged it as ''lopsided''
In his words;....
“It is unfortunate the way the situation is, because one becomes worried. We must be seen to be nationalistic than being sectionalised. I am beginning to feel uncomfortable because the complaint is that the appointments are seen to be lopsided. I also do not think that is the intention of the government.
However, no matter how we pretend, the reality is that things are not done in the right way. The government should be seen to be more nationalistic than sectionalised. If we truly believe in true federalism and federal character, it should go round. We cannot say that a particular area has the best brains in the country. I think the government should look into that area thoroughly in as much as the President has good intentions.”he told Vanguard
